Yesterday's game was very Blogg.
Omaha started out with three runs nnd
ended up with five , wlillo Sioux City started
out With no runs and ended up with nlijo.
And that sizes up the work of the two
teams.
Fanning did the twlrjlng for the homo
team , nnd while ho was not batted hard , ho
was wilder than n Texas steer. *
Why , just think of ill Ho gave eight
men bases on balls nnd made no less than four
wild pitches.
It was awful I
\Vlllls , the first man up , retired on a
grounder to Powell. Canavan laced out n
two-sackcr and Kcarns one for three , nnd nti
earned run came homo. Then Andrews hit
safe , and Kcarns came in with another canted
tally. Andrews actually stole second
end , went to third on Cleveland's
scratch hit and homo on a wild pitch.
Cleveland also stele second and reached third
on a passed ball. But no further scoring was"
done , for Walsh ficw out to Glenn and Moran
struck out.
lJlt was ' an auspicious start , and a mis-
KUidcuc'railk in the grand stand stood up on
his hind legs and yelled , "We've got u plo-
nle ! "
In the second the atmosphere began to
assume a cerulean hue.
Brosnan made n hit nnd a passed ball sent
him to second. Hanrahun , who had taken on
n fresh load of ginger , was given llrston balls
and the next moment Cleveland made n hay-
eating error and both runners scored. Gcnins
fanned nnd Crossloy hit her for two sacks
but proceeded no farther , as Fannlng's curves
also extinguished Mr , Devlin.
In the third they bagged another brace , and
ino auno.spucre ucgan
Monk Cline wcnt-to first on balls , but was
forced out nt second on Glenn's hit to the
pitcher. Cleveland's second blunder gave
ICapiKill a lift and sent Glenn to third , nnd
both men ran homo on Powell's sacrifice.
Brosnan then knocked out a two bagger , but
Hanrahan'.s out retircd'tho side.
In the fifth the Sioux Citys acted up Just
awfully , the nasty things , and the Oinahas
went to pieces like a pumpkin hit with nn nx.
Genius and Crossley made hits and Moran ,
who played right in a pair of eighty-ton
gloves , made a murderous muff of Devlin's
easy fly , which lot Genius in and Crossloy to
second. The chimpanzee again got his base
on four wide ones , Glenn made u hit , and a
wild pitch and another base on balls let in
three more , and the crowd said Oil , well ,
there is no userepeating here what the crowd
said , but they said It all the samo.
Jn their half of this same inning Omaha
had scored her other two and hist runs. They
were secured on Hanrahan's muff , Kcarns'
I three-bagger and Wally's ' third safe hit.
11 The remainder of the game was u proccs-
I siou of goose eggs.

Elinor Foster , nnd Harry O'Day , two ot

The Pittsburg Dispatch says : "Horeis the
way false statements get circuhited. Some
local enthusiastic newspaper correspondent
informed a certain Philadelphia paper that
2,000 people attended the P. L. game ut Ex
position park AV'odnesday. The turnstile
count was 474. Truth will do the club more
good than lies. " Great ScottI The Idea of
kicking about a-Iittlo matter of swelling a
crowd by a mere 2,12U. What folly I Annuals ,
to use u modern phrabe , would not bo "in it"
with that dirty beloved brotherhood boomer.
Baseball has broken into many an editorial
column this year to which It had never to-
fore gained entrance. The New York Trib
une , uftor the opening of the season , said :
"This unconquerable antagonism is no phan
tom , but there was a spectre in attendance
yostorduy. It flitted between the polo
grounds nnd the brotherhord park. Grand
stand and blenching boards saw it and trem
bled. It wns the ghost of baseball , dead and
gone , come back for the benevolent and sol
emn purpose of exhibiting Itself as an awful
warning to its successor. It carried a yellow
and musty volume , in which the story of its
rise and full was recorded , and all the
wounds of which it died In the house qf its
friends were shown truly a melancholy tnlo
of treachery and deceit. Wohopo the warn
ing-has como in time to save the baseball of
today , which has reached the dangerous
pinnacle , nnd seems to some fond nnd patient
eyes to be already tottering. If the existing1
rivalry and antagonism go-much further they
may end in practices which every decent
man despises , and bring a great 'and costly
idol tumbling to the ground. "
A close game of baseball w.is played on the
Creighton college grounds last evening be
tween the Collegians and the High school
Sluggers , which resulted in n victory for the
former by n score ot 111 to 15. The features
of the game were the pitching by Suydcr for
the college nine in the last thrco Innings and
the brilliant Held work of Butler for the high
school boys.
The Omaha management are hustling for
new talent , nnd the public can rest assured
that the weak spots In the present team will
to strengthened.

The Bank of America. Philadelphia ,
StiHpendg Payment.
PHILADELPHIA , April 30. The Bank of
America has suspended payment.
The news of the suspension did not occasion
much surprise , as it was known in certain
quarters that there had been a heavy drain
on the institution all day. The branch ofll-
ces in different parts of the city were shut up
simultaneously with the closing Of the main
houso. There arc twelve of these branches
scattered over the outlying districts nnd the
deposits are said to nmount'to' $700,000. The
bank is closely allied to the Insurance Com
pany of America and other financial institu
tions in this city , and today's suspension ,
which is said to bo 'only temporary , was duo
to rumors set afloat affecting the creditor
President McFarland of the Insurance com
pany.

LEAVUNWOIITH , Kan. , April 30. [ Special to

of niltho ridiculous charges , m-ide against
Governor Smith of' the . .soldlqrs. ' homo is ono
Batson , the same person who uiado the un
founded charge agaiust the authorities some
weeks ago. At that time ho charged that

had tampered with mail directed to him
( Batsou ) . A full investigation was made ,
which resulted in u rccommen'la.tigp.for Bat-
son's discharge from the home , ' which wixs
done. There is absolutely nothing in the
charges. The "sweat-box , " so glibly spoken
of , is only an ordinary clrfso , cell where
drunken veterans are put "to sober up. In
the event of incorrigible refractoriness a
straight-Jacket is put on them , but it is ap
parent that in a matter of 2,000 persons ono
close cell and ono straight jacket cannot bo

is charged. '

that ho diif not b'eliovo the governor would

months ago Mr. Hovoy suffered asovero at

very ocuto form of rheumatism. Ho was still
suffering from the latter disease when dropsi
cal tendencies became plainly marked and ho
is now in very fceblo health. Ho is frequent
ly absent all day from his office , and when ho
comes down ho is compelled to use a carriage.
It is with great difficulty that ho walks , oven ,

goes in nnd out of his carriage only with as

FIIKMOXT , Neb .April ! W. [ Special to TUB
DEI : . ] Lost night occurred the regular an-
iiunl meeting of the Fremont city council nnd
It proved to bo ono of the stormiest sessions
tlmt body over held , the adjournment not beIng -
Ing taken until after 2 o'clock this morning.
The now members who took their sonts were
Morsa and Iloln , Biles In the First and
Archer in the Fourth wards holding over by
ro-elcctlon. The now council wns organized
by the election of Phimbcck as president , the
body standing seven democrats and ono re
publican. Mayor Shervln appointed. FrcO
ICHIRO chief of the lira department. The res
ignation of Marshal Houck , which had been
sent to the mayor In response to a demand for
his withdrawal from the place , owing to a
disgraceful scandal , which ho had been
guilty of , was presented , but was not ac
cepted , the vote being three for acceptance
nnd four nenlnst , with ono absent. The mar
shal will therefore continue to 1111 the position
which ho has disgraced. Thirteen saloon
licenses wcro granted. The matter of the
occupation tax came up ugaln for the half
dozenth tluio and precipitated a lively row. A
petition for its repeal was presented nndactod
upon. Mayor Shervin took the floor on this
subject and read the riot act to several mem
bers of the council -who had changed front on
the subject nnd plainly told them it
was because the saloons had threat
ened to boycott them if they sup
ported the measure. Ho said thqt the funds
which would bo raised by the tax were
needed to carry on the city's expenses. Ho
said , too , that while the council might pass
an ordinance repealing the ordinance ( which
takes effect today ) , ho wanted them to under
stand that ho would veto it and that it could
not bo passed over his veto , as the measure
had support enough in the council to prevent
that. Ho likcwiso alluded to the fact that
Young Men's Christian association monitors ,
prohibitionists 'and saloonkeepers were
leagued togetherto defeat a measure neces
sary for the city's relief. Another Interest
ing feature of tno meeting was the passage of
u resolution in response to the mayor's sug
gestion in his annual message , to cut down
the expenses of the city. The salaries of po-
licemun were cut down to S-IO per month , the
city marshal's' fees wcro cut elf , the street
commissioner nnd janitor of the eitvhall
wcro bounced and the electric street light
ing abolished. The spirit of economy was
rampant nnd it cut dccpand went to an ex
treme. There was a largo attendance of citi
zens and several .took u hand in the discussion
of the occupationitax. This will bo carried
to the supreme dertnrt , a fund having been
raised for that'purpose.
